Re: small hive beetle
Early in the year, I noticed the SHB. We put in one of the traps with the oil. We left it in and forgot about it and a couple of months later came back and took it out. The bees were patching the trap openings with propolis and we removed it and had only caught 2 in the oil. Since then we see some b...

Re: Extra supers and feeding time?
Thank you for your reply. I'm the one with 2 large deep brood boxes on. I made that mistake right from the start and don't know how to remedy that at this point, but I have bigger problems now. We have 2 -10 frame hives. The second hive has a large deep and a medium and a honey super. There is lots ...

Extra supers and feeding time?

All the frame edges, no combs built, they just hang out up there and look like they are preparing for winter. They have lots of honey down below, everything looks great. Is this the time to take off those e...

Re: Beekeeping 101
We have been crushing shb occassionally on that board. Our last inspection revealed 1 shb on a frame so we put in a trap. No wax moths. Thank you for the info.

Re: Beekeeping 101
The bees have plenty of water, a creek down the road, water from my irrigation, plus watering the garden. I have also put out a dish and I've never seen them after any of that water. Before I put the empty super on top, I placed 4 popsicle sticks diagonally on the corners of the inner hive cover. Th...

Beekeeping 101
My hive has been bearding at the entrance for at least two weeks now. I am new to keeping bees and am not sure what to do for them. I know they are hot. I put an empty super above the inner cover and they have a screened bottom board. Not sure if it's necessary to do more. I have opened the hive ent...
